Carlton Blues odds
The Carlton Football Club is one of the traditional powerhouse teams in Australian footy. The Blues have won 16 VFL/AFL premierships — a record matched only by Collingwood and Essendon.
After finishing inside the top eight in 2023 and 2024 and falling short against the Brisbane Lions in back-to-back finals series, Carlton heads into 2025 with plenty of optimism.
In what will be his fourth year as the Blues coach, can Michael Voss taste the same success that he did three times as a player with this Carlton squad in 2025, or will they fall short again?

Best Carlton bets for the 2025 AFL season
There are dozens of AFL futures markets for Carlton, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Online bookmakers have the Blues marked as a +900 chance to win the 2025 AFL Premiership. They sit on the fourth line of betting and should be considered a massive chance to lift the Premiership Cup in September.
- Although Carlton has played a prominent role in the finals series the last two years, they did not finish in the top four. The Blues appear primed for another big season, and a top-four finish could be the recipe for success in 2025.
- After polling a record 45 votes in 2024 to claim his second Brownlow Medal, Patrick Cripps represents great value at the +900 on offer with BetOnline. If the Carlton skipper can stay on the park for the majority of the season, there is no doubt that Cripps will be in the hunt at the pointy end of the count.

Carlton players to watch in 2025
Tom De Koning
Born: 16/07/1999
Games: 78
Goals: 30
Position: Ruck
Tom De Koning experienced a career-best season in 2024. The 25-year-old ruckman played 18 matches for the Blues and was one of the most sought-after players throughout the season, as his contract was up for renewal at the end of the year. De Koning was a dominant force in the middle and around the ground for Carlton, regularly winning hitouts to give his midfielders first use of the footy. After signing a new two-year deal with the Blues, both the club and fans would love to see him become one of the top ruckmen in the AFL in 2025.
Jacob Weitering
Born: 23/11/1997
Games: 181
Goals: 11
Position: Defender
Jacob Weitering was another Blue who had a career-best season in 2024, which resulted in him being awarded an All Australian blazer as the full back. Carlton’s co-vice captain was one of the best intercepting defenders in the AFL last season, while also playing 22 of their 24 games throughout the year. If he can play 19 games in 2025, Weitering will bring up his 200th game for the club.
Jagga Smith
Born: 28/01/2006
Games: 0
Goals: 0
Position: Midfielder
The Blues traded up the AFL Draft order to pick three during the 2024 trade period to secure the services of creative midfielder Jagga Smith. The Oakleigh Chargers ball magnet averaged just under 34 disposals per game during 2024, which led to him being picked for Victoria Metro for the second straight season. Nothing changed for Smith during the Under 18 Championships, as he went on to average 29 touches in his four matches for Vic Metro. The 18-year-old also played three games for the Richmond VFL team, which will help him get ready for AFL life in 2025 and beyond.
